Freud vs. his Ego

Monster Theatre is back for its 10th Winnipeg Fringe, taking a stab at yet another historical icon.

Sigmund Freud (Gladstone) is catapulted, under mysterious circumstances, into a place where nothing makes sense—his own mind.  His only guide (Horak) is his own unconscious, “Ego”, whose intentions, it would seem, are none too pure!!

Freud is in a mad race against time to uncover the truth of his past, his theories, and his mind itself.

JESUS CHRIST: The Lost Years

In the bible, there is a plot-hole... We see Jesus at the age of 13 teaching with the Rabbis in the Synagogue, then he disappears from record until we find him 18 years later wandering in the desert.   No one knows what happened to Jesus during these so-called 'Lost Years'... until now!  

Our story begins with the fateful day when Jesus comes home from school and asks his mother that quintessential adolescent question - "Mom? Why am I different from all the other kids?"   And it is here, at the onset of manhood Jesus learns the shocking truth - "Joseph isn't you real father!"

Join Jesus on an incredible quest to find his father, his own true identity and the meaning of life!   Before it is over Jesus meets Judas and Mary Magdalene, comes to understand his strange powers, battles gods, wrestles with Monsters and gets taken on a trip around the universe.   There are plenty of surprises awaiting you in JESUS CHRIST: The Lost Years!

Confessions of a Class Clown

Based on the real life misadventures of Ryan Gladstone's sordid and hilarious relationship with school, from taking the teacher up on her offer of 'think you could do a better job?' in grade 4 to dropping LSD in the teachers coffee in high school.   We also follow the Class Clown Extraordinaire as he joins a theatre company who teaches him to misbehave, gives a grammar lesson using only the F-word, gets a job grading standardized government exams and finally teaches the audience to discover their inner Monster!

 

The Canada Show: The Complete History of Canada in One Hour

In an action-packed sixty minutes, Monster Theatre takes you on a hysterically historical joy-ride through 50,000 years of Canada. History…without the boring stuff.

Napoleon's Secret Diary

What if Napoleon was the accident of history? Napoleon the most written about person in the history of the world, the man at whose feet Europe trembled, who tamed the wild Creole Josephine, who led the largest army to ever walk the face of the earth, who faced international coalitions, the man who invented canned food! Imagine him, the Diminutive Dictator as a Low-status, Bumbling Fool. A sort of cross between Bob Newhart and Inspector Clouseau!

 

The Seven Lives of Louis Riel

Louis Riel, the most controversial Canadian of all time comes to life in this new play. The story of Louis Riel told from seven different points of view, in seven different genre's, with a distinctive western flavour! Guns, Trains and Bison!
